本文报告了离散选择实验的结果，旨在估计农民对土地使用限制的感知成本，即作物限制、额外施肥限制和使用限制，而不是没有此类限制。为此，根据有关生产力、地块大小、与其他土地的距离、开车回家的时间、土地使用限制和价格等信息，模拟了假设的土地购买决策。来自比利时坎平地区的农民受邀参与调查，因为该地区的农田仍然面临着历史上重金属污染导致作物限制的影响。对于相同的土地，我们估计感知成本（以土地使用限制导致的消费者剩余变化计算），作物限制约为 46,000 欧元/公顷，使用限制约为 50,000 欧元/公顷，施肥限制约为 70,000 欧元/公顷。假设该成本代表永久性，那么在贴现率为 5% 的情况下，每年固定成本分别约为 2300 欧元/公顷、2500 欧元/公顷和 3500 欧元/公顷。
This paper reports on the findings from discrete choice experiments designed to estimate farmers’ perceived costs of land use restrictions, i.e. crop restrictions, additional fertilizing restrictions, and usage restrictions, as opposed to having no such restrictions. To this end, hypothetical land purchasing decisions were simulated based on the information about productivity, lot size, distance to other land, driving time to home, land use restrictions, and price. Farmers from the Campine area (Belgium) were invited to participate in the survey as the agricultural land in this region still faces the effects of historical heavy metal contamination resulting in crop restrictions. For identical pieces of land, we estimate the perceived cost, calculated as a change in the consumer surplus due to having a land use restriction, to be about 46,000 €/ha for the crop restriction, 50,000 €/ha for the usage restriction, and 70,000 €/ha for the fertilizing restrictions. Assuming this cost to represent a perpetuity, then with a discount rate of 5% the yearly fixed costs respectively equal about 2300 €/ha, 2500 €/ha, and 3500 €/ha.
